Measuring the change in drive impedance to estimate ground loss
can be misleading.  You cannot simply assume that any impedance
in excess of 36 ohms represents loss.  You really need to measure
the field strength with a 2nd antenna some distance away.  My
experience is that going only by drive impedance is pessimistic.
